How does any leader in power change perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, opinions, viewpoints? By changing the words and by repeating the identical words over and over and over. And by using the mainstream media as a tool of manipulation. 

Misinformation, disinformation, follow the science, build back better – words, slogans, and catch phrases used by current world leaders. How many times have you heard these words repeated since COVID-19 arrived via news by mainstream media – puppets of the censorship cabal? Ad nauseum.  

“The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.” –Philip Dick 

Television journalists, reporters, and news anchors squawk like parrots. When you witness the back-to-back clips, it finally sinks into the frontal lobe of your brain – it’s a circulated script. Visit https://theweek.com/speedreads/764546/watch-surreal-video-compilation-dozens-local-news-anchors-giving-exact-same-warning-about-fake-news. 

Read the echoing headlines in mainstream newspapers. Who decides what stories are front and center and what stories are dead in the water?  

“Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.” –Jim Morrison 

Why repetition of language? Censorship of citizens, political propaganda, but a more sinister agenda is being implemented around the globe. The Great Reset is their new catchphrase – the old catchphrase was New World Order. “You’ll own nothing and you’ll by happy,” says Klaus Schwab, Founder of the World Economic Forum with headquarters in Switzerland.

Word manipulators are cunning, crafty, and clever. 

Side bar: The fact-checkers continue to deny any facts that criticize the New World Order and the lecherous leaders as they execute their age-old plan. Who controls the fact-checkers? “The International Fast-Checking Network is a forum for fast-checkers worldwide hosted by the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. The Poynter Institute is largely funded by George Soros´ Open Society Foundations, Google, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy, Ebay´s Omidyar Foundation, and others.” Visit https://www.researchgate.net/. 

“The world is a complex place, and the influence of the media in its representation and its power of communication and interpretation is a remarkable amplifier of emotions, and of illusion.” –Tariq Ramadan 

How does a political machine of madness impede information, scientific facts, alternative viewpoints? By labeling the messengers as conspiracy theorists, right-winged extremists, lunatics. By attacking their credibility and reputation. By threatening loss of employment, loss of livelihood, and loss of liberties. Or by using money and more money. 

Listen to different sources of news and alternative viewpoints. Focus on what you hear. Read online newspapers from other countries. Pay attention to the language used and how it’s used. Look for hype, hyperbole, and hysteria. Word manipulators are well-schooled in how to play word games and spin stories. Question what is said and what is not said. Read books. Converse with others. Put aside political passion for your party and put on your critical thinking skills on hot-button issues.  

Promoting propaganda falsehoods to keep citizens fighting amongst themselves is a centuries-old scheme of divide and conquer. Create chaos to divert attention away from dastardly deeds. 

“Until you realize how easy it is for your mind to be manipulated, you remain the puppet of someone else’s game.” –Evita Ochel

 Citizens, are you upholders of freedom and defenders of democracy? Contact the publisher/editor of your local newspaper and news station when opposite fact-based stories are absent. Contact the representatives you voted into office with your questions. Share your viewpoints on social media. Attend peaceful gatherings that promote civil liberties. Pay attention to catchphrases. And question the mainstream media narrative.
